Mind can cause generation of rupas…and kusla chitta have tendency to generate kusla rupas…
I think arhant with his arhat mind always able to perceive this world differently than putthu Jana …
For them it’s always right understanding when they see others. Always right attention…there movment are just with right attention…
Where putthu Jana movements are clinging to pleasure and repulsive to dosha…eyes always finding pleasure, body always finding pleasure…
I remember buddha never laugh loudly…even whenever he smiled he smiled with reasons only…
Our buddha gotama didn’t used his elephant gaze…but in privious eons one buddha use his elephant gaze against mara…
I can only imagine how this minds are so free …so burden less…calm … very calm…

Elephant gaze? Never heard of it, though I might remember if you elaborate.
Yes… It’s in a sutta where mahamoggalana told about his past life as a mara …in that life he made one villager to bleed one monk and buddha of that time gazed him with such that he instantly died…
I can’t differentiate those gaze as a anger… becouse one who is arhant have eliminated his anger completely. His chitta -chetasika cannot generated by anger root.

Elephant gaze refers to a way of looking without turning the neck—one turns the entire body toward the object of attention. It is not a menacing or aggressive gaze, but rather a composed and deliberate one. This type of gaze is described as a common trait of the Buddhas.
The gaze of that past Buddha was not the cause of that Māra being sent to hell. Rather, it may be that the Buddha gave that gaze because he perceived that the Māra’s death—and subsequent rebirth in hell—was already imminent.
